Dear national news channels, people keep writing open letters every now and then to you folks and you must be used to it now. I am from the city of Chennai - which is the capital city of Tamil Nadu in India. The moment I say Tamil Nadu please don't be mistaken that Chennai is in Sri Lanka, it's very much part of our country about 300km from Bangalore.

Wanted to let you all know that it's been raining continuously for the last ten days and our local channels are mentioning that this rain is the highest recorded in 100 years. Several people have lost their lives and water is only flowing up to the neck level and hence it's really not serious.

I switched on the TV yesterday, only to find news about how the Congress and BJP are accusing each other for the ED raids. Last week was all about Aamir Khan and intolerance and then about this great lady who is accused of murdering her daughter etc... Each of these news are of utmost national importance and floods/loss of lives are not significant. Read more here.

Power grids have shut, commute has been blocked, airport is submerged, thousands have been left stranded with people moving to the terrace of their apartments, and water is mercilessly drowning half the city - all hell has broken loose.

Water has even seeped into the tech giant Infosys premises.

At a time of such scale of crisis, people from across the country are coming together on social media to do some exceptional work by co-ordinating relief activities, helping in the rescue of people who are stranded, ensuring food and water to those who are stuck in different parts and even recharging people's phones.
